Puzzle Pieces

A/N So, this is where the WAFF and yuri come in. A little more angst at the beginning, the big confessions, and then it just gets silly. But I needed the sleepover to provide a place where Sasuke and Naruto would feel free to discuss seemingly taboo subjects, so bear with the highschool humor.







Chapter 3



Gaara decided to follow Naruto into the bedroom, no telling what might happen, and he already knew both of their stories, so what the hell. Naruto stopped just outside the bathroom door and stared at the brunette on the bed. Sasuke stared back at him. Gaara rolled his eyes and gave Naruto a little push in Sasuke’s direction. The blonde shot him a glare and then walked over to stand right in front of Sasuke.



“You never answered my question.” Naruto’s soft voice broke the silence. Sasuke looked a question at him.



“Which one?”



“Why do you care?” This sentence was uttered with such quiet sincerity that Sasuke nearly broke into tears right then and there. Instead, he stood up and walked to the sliding door, hugging himself.



“I know what Itachi is. I should never have let this happen; I should have stopped you from even getting in the car with us. It’s all my fault.” Sasuke hung his head. Naruto stepped up behind him.



“But why do you care? Sasuke, why do you care about me?” Sasuke rounded on the blonde.



“Because I know what it feels like, ok!? And I don’t want that to happen to anyone, least of all you! Does that answer your question!?” He stormed past the stunned blonde and locked himself in his bathroom. Gaara gazed steadily at Naruto, who was staring at the bathroom door with a mixture of shock and horror.



“See? You two should talk more.” He got up to leave.



“Wait, Gaara. Did he mean what he said? That… you know.”



“Yeah. Itachi has used him as a toy since he was eight. Now you know. But he doesn’t know about you. Are you going to tell him?” Naruto sat down hard on the edge of the bed and let out a long breath.



“I guess I better. Since he told me.”



“That was my thought.” He let himself out onto the porch and climbed down the side. Naruto watched him leave and then walked over to the locked bathroom door.



“Sasuke, I, um, I need to tell you something.” There was a thud as something solid and heavy hit the door.



“You moron! Why are you still here!? Itachi is still downstairs and I can’t help you! I’m just a weakling!” The sound of sobs drifted through the door.



“Sasuke, open the door.” Silence on the other side. Then the door opened a crack.



“What?” Naruto pushed through and closed the door behind him, glancing at the boy who had fallen to the floor and sitting down on the edge of the tub to stare at his own knees. Sasuke got up and sat on the counter. “Well? You had something to tell me?” Naruto’s eyes flicked up and back and he let out a shuddering breath.



“Uh, yeah. Well, see, this wasn’t my first time, either. See, my stepdad, umm, you know…” He made an all inclusive gesture. Sasuke’s jaw dropped.



“Oh.” There was an awkward silence as each looked around the small room, looking for something to say. Sasuke was the first to break the silence. “So, uh, wanna spend the night at a friend’s house. I could call up Neji, he owes me a favor.” Naruto shrank back into himself and blushed as he murmured,



“Only if you stay over, too.” Sasuke laughed nervously.



“Yeah, ok. Let me go call him.” Sasuke went back into the bedroom to grab his cell that he had left on the nightstand, punching in Neji’s number.



“Hey, Sasuke.”



“Hey, Neji, what’s up?”



“Oh, not much, just watching TV.”



“Well, hey, I was thinking we should have a sleep over, and my parents have some guests in town, so we can’t do it over here. Whaddaya think?”



“Dude, we’re in high school.”



“So we watch R rated movies and talk about girls and cars instead of Disney and action figures. Come on, it would be fun.”



“Yeah, all right. Who?”



“Naruto’s over here right now, so we’ll be over at about 6. So, whoever you want to invite is fine. Oh, and Gaara.”



“That freak? And why is Naruto at your house?”



“It’s a long story, but they’re both cool.”



“All right, whatever, it was your idea. My cousin, Sai, is in town, and I’ll probably call Lee, Shikamaru, and Kiba and just tell them to bring whoever, since we’re going all out.”



“Cool, we’ll bring food, too.”



“You better, cause I’m not getting off my ass to go to the store.”



“Yeah, sure. See you later.”



“See ya.”

Since they were the first informed, Sasuke and Naruto were the first at Neji’s, even after picking up Gaara and food. Neji’s house was similar in size and style to Sasuke’s, but it sat on 100 acres of forest and included a barn and horses. As they pulled up, Neji came out to greet them in a light grey t-shirt and casual black jeans. They sat in his living room, talking about nothing in particular after everyone had been introduced to the pale, dark-haired, dark-eyed, and very quiet Sai. Sasuke was relieved to see that Naruto was mostly recovered and acting normally, even getting mad when Sasuke teased him. After about twenty minutes of this, everyone was rather surprised to see Kiba walk in with three girls in tow. Neji smacked his forehead and blurted,



“Kiba, sleepover usually means only guys!” The blonde and the pink-haired girls to either side of him burst into giggle fits while the black-haired girl behind him blushed purple.



“Aww, come on Neji, don’t be like that! We’re in high school, the rules are different! It’ll be waaayyyy more fun this way!” Ignoring Neji’s look of murderous indignation, he walked over to a love seat and sat down, still in between the two giggling girls. Soon after Shikamaru and Chouji showed up, followed by Lee on a crotch-rocket. After introductions all around, including Ino, Sakura, and Hinata, and the usual teasing of Lee for his fashion sense and a good measure of staring at Gaara, who was staring back, they all headed down to the TV room, also know as the fun room.



Then they had to decide which movie to watch first. Lee was all for ‘Enter the Dragon.’ Sai suggested ‘The Ring.’ Kiba wanted ‘300’ and Chouji said ‘Spaceballs.’ All was chaos until Sakura walked up to the DVD player and put in a mystery disc.



“All right, guys. Everyone quiet down and watch this, I promise you you’ll like it.” She strutted over to where Sasuke was sitting and draped herself over his lap. Ino took up a similar position with Neji, while Hinata sat next to Kiba, blushing down to her toes.



And then the movie started.



And everyone but Ino, Sakura, and Chouji froze. Hinata blushed so hard she looked about ready to explode. Neji, Sasuke, and Sai took up small frowns. Shikamaru raised his eyebrows, and Lee and Naruto were a little confused until they saw the title and then watched with open mouths as ‘Hos with Hohos’ began to play on Neji’s plasma screen. Chouji just kept eating his chips, and Sakura and Ino settled deeper into their chosen guy and catcalled the girls on the screen, who were at that point just beginning to take their clothes off and roll in Twinkies.

Sasuke glanced over at Kiba, and was surprised to see him and Hinata kissing gently. Sakura brought his attention back to her as she began rubbing his leg. He rolled his eyes and whispered,



“Sakura, I’m not into girls.” She turned to look at him.



“Are you sure?” She pouted.



“Yeah. Actually that’s why Naruto’s here.” She bit her lower lip.



“Nn, that’s hot.” Abruptly, she stood up and stalked over to Ino, where she straddled the other girl’s hips and they began to make out. Ferociously. Neji looked like he couldn’t make up his mind whether he wanted to join in or not. Then he shrugged and began groping Ino. At that point Sasuke stopped watching and turned his attention to Naruto. The blonde was staring open-mouthed at the screen, a blush creeping up his cheeks. Sasuke leaned over and murmured,



“Haven’t you ever watched porn before?” Naruto turned to look at him and shook his head slowly. “Well, you’re drooling.” He wiped his mouth quickly and glared at the brunette. Sasuke smiled and leaned in closer. “It’s kinda cute.” Naruto blinked at him and then blushed harder, stealing a glance at the couple on the love seat and the threesome next to them. Sasuke read the inherent question in the glance in the look and scooted a little closer to the blonde. “Now watch the movie.”



“Ok.” But it became increasingly harder to watch as the antics of their friends kept drawing their attention. While it was interesting to see Hinata come out of her shell to kiss Kiba in the presence of others, that got boring after a while, since the real show was Neji.



Still seated in the same position, Sakura was now alternating between necking Ino and playing tonsil hockey with the boy on the couch, her hands around his back. Ino was basically incapacitated, owing to the fact that Neji’s hands were on her breast and down the front of her pants, her moans coming in time, curiously enough, with the movie. The real surprise was when, while Sakura was giving Ino a hickey, Neji turned to Gaara next to him and began kissing him almost as gently as Kiba was Hinata. At this, Sasuke glanced at Naruto and was surprised, and rather pleased, to see a look of hunger and lust at the display.

His focus was shifted back to the other side of the couch, however, when Ino gave a splendid moan and collapsed forward onto Sakura. Neji used this opportunity to remove the hand that had been cupping her breast to caress the side of Gaara’s face and deepen their kiss. Gaara shifted closer to the pale-eyed boy, the chains on his pants and armlets making asynchronous noises as the rest of the room, including the couple on the love seat and the two girls in Neji’s lap, sat riveted to the demonstration.



And they had just gotten started.

A/N Ok, I admit it. I'm turning into a review whore. Three chapters and only four reviews? Wtf, mate? So I've decided that chapter 4 doesn't go up until I get some feedback. Obviously, if you don't like the story, then don't review and it will die a sad death only a part of the way in...
